The Anne Arundel County Animal Control in Maryland reported on Facebook, “About a month ago, this lady adopted Mojo, an 11-year-old cat who came to the shelter with another cat, Max, who is 16.”

Then the shelter reported, the woman opened her heart, “Mojo has been a wonderful pet, she said, but she couldn’t get Max out of her mind. ‘The idea of him living out his life in a cage just broke my heart,’ she said.”
